Steem as a solution.

Decentralized economies such as Steem could be the solution.

We haven't seen much trading going on on Steem though, and I would love to see some people selling items both virtually and in real life for Steem currency.

Steem offers the kind of stability that no other cryptocurrency does. Right now, the currency is called Steemdollars. I believe that we should change that price feed to something that has intrinsic value and has a proven track record, gold or silver for example. Perhaps we could let everyone create smart assets like we could on the Bitshares network, to get a more diverse range of currencies to choose from.
